Preface
This survey represents a New India: aspiration with alertness which is built
upon awareness. The survey is unique in its investigative questioning on
the Indian Economy, Society and Political Frontiers.
India’s contradictions, dissenting notes, self-destructive policies, neglected
reforms are all questions that seek answers. Yet, the questions also probe
India’s positive phase --- its definitive, emphatic reforms and the
beneficial, constructive and optimistic perspectives in its journey towards
reforms.
At this point of history, this survey remains incontestable, undeniable, and
most certainly worthwhile. Our researchers score a few points that draw
attention, that India is watchful, wide awake and sensitive to national
issues, that they are mentally agile, attentive, quick, ready and sharp-eyed.
The new India is well informed, has a firm opinion and knows what is
good for the country and what is not. The survey proves that young India
possesses a latent talent that has the capacity to forewarn.
The new India represents an unbiased view that reflects a responsible
society. India is not backward due to its society or the ideation of its
people, but India is lagging behind due to its inaction. If the leadership
works in tendon of the progressive thoughts of the society; India can be a
super power without any doubt, but if the leadership doesn’t work, the
aspirant, alert and informed society will change it. But, in the process of
change, the inaction remains as the side effect of democracy.
